Nim is great for knocking out commandline apps, I recommend "cligen" for quick and clean options, or "docopt" for friendlier cli options. They feel "scripty" when you can begin with a couple lines and grow it up from there. I found it the easiest to learn. And difficulties getting my other favorite, D, on embedded and Haiku and OS/2 (which also have poor javascript support) was my prompt to give it a try. I found cross-compiling easy. But just as easy was having Nim installed on all my platforms.
